stopped the funeral OF a girl named
Lucy Krug, aged 10, and who formerly
lived at 533 Larrabee street, she hay
ing died under suspicious circum-
stances. Soon after several detect
ives and q deputy Coroner and his
| assistants arrived on the scene. In
September, 1885, Lawrence Krug, a
carpenter, was marriedto Mrs. Heidel-
MAYER, and Lucy was her daughter.
Krug and his wife started on a we'd
ding trip to New York, he previously
insuring his wife's life for 81, 900 in the
Knights and Ladies of Honor. When
on their wedding tour Mrs. Krug died,
and Krug married again in New York.
He had been at home but a short
while when his second wife, whose
life had been insured in the same
association, also died. Two months
after her death he married Mrs. Rohr,
who was nine years older than Krug.
This was in September last. Six

typhoid fever and died. This last wife
was also insured. During her illness
she was attended by DIR. Kallstein.
Suspicious were aroused at her death
by the fact of the insurance, which
was made out to her daughter, Mrs.
Charles Anderson, who was forced by
Krugt to make over her claims on the in
surance to him. Lucy Heidelmayer,
or .Krug, as she was usually called,
was insured in the same association,
and the policy was made payable to
her ~stepfather, Krug. He was placed
under surveillance. The funeral cor
tege was DELAYED for an hour and a
half, while a post mortem examina-
ton was being held by City Physicians
Blutchard and Krast, who performed
the autopsy. The result was an
nounced that the girl had died from
natural causes, in the form of affec-
items of the liver and kidneys. Krug,
who had been drinking whisky and
cursing in q back room, under a police
guard, was released and the funeral
proceeded. The Coroner's jury adj
journed until Friday. 1t has not been
generally known, until now, that when
Krug's third wife died, the Knights
and Ladies of Honor were greatly
aroused and secretly exhumed the
body. Nothing suspicious could be
found, however, and the organization
paid Krug. The insurance policy on
the fourth victim lapsed a few weeks
ago, but the fact was unknown to the
girl or Krug.

KANSAS Cry, Jan. 13.-The south
bound passenger train on the Missouri
Pacific extension, which left Omaha
last night, and was due here this
morning, was wrecked near Dunbar,
Neb., about midnight. The wreck was
caused by the loosening of rails by a
party unknown. Several spikes and
fish plates had been removed, and the
train coming along at the rate of so
miles an hour, plunged Is feet down
an entertainment and landed in a snow
drift. James Dewitt, of W~yandotte,
KS, the engineer, was caught under
a holder and killed. His body had
not been recovered at last accounts.
Frank Menewith, express messenger,
whose home is in this city, was inter-
nally hurt and may die. A lady
whose name Was not learned, was
badly hurt, but the other passengers
were not seriously injured as far as
known here. All were shaken up,
however, and more OF less bruised.
The entire train left the track, and
the probable loss of life would have
been great except for a snowbank,
which broke the force OF the plunge.
The Missouri Pacific officials here
state that the wreck is the result of
a third attempt upon the life of De- |
Witt, the engineer. They say some of |
the men engaged in the strike last |
Spring cherished a grudge against De-
Witt, because he was an active sup
porter of the company during the great
strike. They assert that the wreck
near Wyandotte, for which Hamilton
had just been tried, was the result of a
plot against DeWitt's lite. But his
train was not the first to pass over the
track as they expected. subsequently,
they say, a second attempt was made,
and last night was the third. Several
suspicious looking men, it is said, were
seen lettering about the station at
Dunbar last evening. Tracks were
found leading from the scene OF the
wreck which furnished a clue. The
Sheriff and several others are search
ing the neighborhood, and a reward
has been offered for the wreckers.
A number OF California excursionists
were among the party.
